Meditation from “Language of Letting Go”

September 27- Meditation from “Language of Letting Go”

By Melody

 

 

…God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able, but with the temptation, will also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

— The Bible

 

“I’m taking care of my roommate and worrying about three of my clients. People always say that you’ll never get more than you can handle. But that’s not true if you’re trying to handle other people’s stuff. That can be too much,” a ther­apist and friend of mine said.

 

Most of us have heard throughout our lives that we’ll never get more than we can handle or bear. The load will not be too heavy. If were given it, we can rise to the occasion and accomplish the task.

 

They didn’t say the load wouldn’t be heavy. They didn’t say the task could easily be done. And they didn’t say we’d be given the grace and strength to bear the load of burdens that weren’t ours.

Sometimes, it feels like too much. I know how that feels.

 

It’s not.

 

You’re up to the task, whatever it is, whether it feels like you are or not.

 

God, please give me all I need today, including enough joy.
